(8,573 posts)You're okay with a meme that falsely encourages people to think that the people protesting the stay at home orders are a bunch of confederate flag nutters (who are pretty easy to spot and avoid) when the reality is they are the nutters next door...the trumpers, the anti vaxxers, the local members of the gop. That woman who's your fb friend from high school, or the lady that makes the awesome red velvet cake at all the church functions. Et cetera...
There was one rebel flag in 38 pictures, of hundreds of people...but a completely unrelated picture became the 'face' of the protest for that meme, and the manipulation was aimed at us - democrats, liberals, progressives. Those of us who are not cool with the confederate flag, or trump or any of this RWNJ crap being slung. You can be cool with the manipulation if you want but me, I don't like being propagandized or manipulated by anyone. PERIOD.
Have A Good Day, "Sir."
